Listened to about half of it so far. Dig it.
I left Spotify earlier this year so I don’t have the stats but I can guarantee carousel is my most listened song of the year. What a banger.
Haken was my #1 band this year too

Just spent the last 30 minutes showing my girlfriend cockroach king and explaining vector/virus to her. She is now throwing up so idk if it went well.
Edit: she comes out and says “maybe I caught the virus”
Keeper.
For anyone looking for the cheapest option, I ordered a plain black vinyl from lasercd.com for $28.40 after shipping.
It used to be my least favorite, but I’ve suddenly gained an appreciation for Affinity. Been listening to it like every other day the past week or so.
I rock out to 1985 at least once a week
The Architect has their best chorus, bar none.
Also, Lapse is one of my favorite Henshall solos. That and Cocoon.
For some reason I always forget I saw Haken
Congratulations
The Mountain has been my first Haken experience and I’ve been listening to it like once a week since July. It’s really, really good. Top tier prog album. They’ve got lots of material. Where do I go next? I’ve heard that they get heavier and heavier with each album and I’m not really into really heavy stuff but I could definitely go heavier than The Mountain.
Affinity, IMO.
Though after The Mountain I started at the beginning. Aquarius and Visions are also top-tier. A little more Dream Theater-esque though.
Restoration EP or affinity but there is no bad answer. Honestly their “heavy” stuff is not that heavy.
